  Comment by Dr Mark Lavercombe:
  The authors of this paper demonstrate that in the five years after an initial episode of protracted bacterial bronchitis, almost 70% of children have ongoing symptoms, 27% have clinician-diagnosed asthma and 10% have developed bronchiectasis. They identify children at particular risk of progression and recommend follow-up strategies to mitigate the future risk.

  Comment by Dr Mark Lavercombe:
  This study demonstrates a potential correlation between childhood pneumonia and exposure to solid fuel burning. Future work might examine whether reduction in indoor biomass pollution will lead to reduction in early childhood pneumonia.
